Samuel Clark, recently arrested and bound
over to the grand jury for being found in
a disorderly house in Iowa, was released

Judge Given The grounds for the de-
cision were that the word person as used
in the statutes does not apply to man
found in such house, but only to wom-
en-. The Iowa 1ribune caustically says
In other words, a woman is person
when the law wishes to punish her, but
man equally guilty is not person. Again,
on election day woman is not person,
because voting is to be done: but man is
a pc rson, and has the privilege Of making
laws and electing Judge Given to interpret
them"

Special to the Gazette.
COLORADO, TEX, Jan. l1.-Mr.
Kasler, prominent real estate dealer OF
Galveston, to-day bought the block of
brick buildings on Second street known
as the Scott block, paying therefor the
high price OF $4,000 cash. Such in
vestments as these, made by shrewd
business men in position to kuow OF
such matters, certainly point
to the early building of
the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe
railroad to this point, cOnsummatlon
which our local business men have never
doubted would come to pass. Con ,ider-
able city real estate is now changing
hands and outside parties are investing
considerable money in Colorado property.
The parties who sold the Scott block are
now having plans drawn for large brick
block to be built further down Second
street.

and A. B Robertson, some of our leading
